how do you handle mac addresses in virtual machine images?

 Description  « Hide
I have read the documentation about creating virtual machine images for abicloud. (like in virtualbox)
Nowhere you mention something about the mac addresses for these virtual machines.
As in most Linux machines, the mac address assigned by VBox, are stored in the OS.
When you use this image multiple times in your cloud you have VMachines running with duplicate mac addresses.
This could give issues with your DHCP server.

In most public clouds these mac addresses are removed from the VM's and are auto picked up by the VMachine when it's first powered up from the hypervisor.

Using abicloud, without removing the mac addresses, could this give certain problems?
